| What: Two time travelers meet at Eagle Mountain | |||||
Tylor has been working on a Cloaking device as per Batman's demands. It's not unreasonable, and Tylor has several designs he has worked on. Maybe what batman doesn't understand, An actual cloaking device like in Star Trek is a lot harder to produce. Of course Tylor also suspects Batman would rather just blow up his starship rather than deal with it. So Tylor has been not only looking for a effective cloak, but also a strong hold to allow him to hold up technology. Just in case Batman decides to take a preemptive strike, and the off chance the Dark Knight succeeds.
Unfortunately while testing his cloaking device for his Shuttle Sulaco, part of the system failed causing the active camouflage to fail, and as such he had to put his shuttle down in the forests as far and as deep as possible while he effects repair. With sensors active and the shuttles shields helping to provide protection, he is currently working on one of the shuttle Nacelles.
It was eleven months ago...that was when she fell from the sky and landed here, at Eagle Mountain. Granted, it was with help...and she tried to fight that help because, when she arrived, she was infected with the YES! virus and would rather die than spread it to this world. Though she has not seen the one who helped her then in a long time, his lab is still here, hidden. She has kind of back here once...though it was not exactly her. What do you call it when you have been split in half and only half of you was here?
She is musing when here ears hear a number of odd sounds. There is something up here that is very hig tech. Has her rescuer returned to his lair? She sweeps the area with her X-ray vision...hovering at treetop level
As Mia looks through the Tree tops she discovers what looks like some form of space craft, a shuttle it looks like. A man is working on one of the engine pods which is smoking slightly. Thankfully not too heavily as it is clear this man is not her savior. But he is attempting to work fast in a slight panic. Fortunately with all the super heroes, and such, he is hoping most will attribute the flash of his shuttle he gave as something from one of the local heroes in New York City.
Mia lands and walks over, not wanting to frighten the stranger. She says, "You are not Dyson." She adds, "He had a spacecraft though, he probably has repair tools in the Sphere."
The Sensors on the Shuttle do alert him when the Stranger approaches. He is actually Standing when she comes out of the Forest, "Uh no, Not Dyson." The Familiar style of the Superman family uniform makes him seem to open up a little, "Oh I have the parts and tools here. First rule of Travel, always make sure you have parts and tools to repair your ship." he says, "Careful I have shields around me and my ship. Safety precaution purely defensive." he says and then Asks, "Seems Superman's family has grown a lot in recent years. Other survivors of Krypton?" he asks Almost pleased that the Man of Steel has relations.
Cir-El frowns, "It is complicated. You see, in my memories, I am his daughter from the future...but those memories are fake. In reality I am kind of a construct. Brainiac took a real person and overwrote half her DNA with Kryptonian DNA...including her mitochondrial DNA, then he created an artificial set of memories for her and shipped her into the past to trick Superman and make it morally impossible for him to destroy her...even though she was carrying a disease that would destroy the world. Fortunately I came HERE, where Dyson was. He had the means, along with another who was here, to free me of the virus. The Kryptonian Genome is longer than the human genome though, so I do not have quite half of Superman's genes."
As he listens to her the mention of Brainiac instantly gets a more defensive action from him. He pulls back closer to the shuttle. Brainiac is one of the many horrors he learned of in the stars. "I heard of Brainiac, and know what he does. So I am sure you understand my caution." The entire conversation of time travel is taken in as he pulls out his Tricorder, It's a flip top style from TNG more compact and practical. and says, "Scanning for Temporal energy. One of the interesting things about it is it never truly fades. It's always there." he says assuming he can find it he will "well considering Brainiac hasn't shown up in the world to turn it to rubble, I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Sounds like this Dyson and I should have a meeting."
Superlass says, "I have not seen Dyson in months. The Lab where he cured me was here, on this mountain...well inside the mountain technically. I figure if he ever comes back, this is where he will come." She adds, "You might want to be careful though, while the physical virus is gone, at least part of the computer virus may remain, waiting to find an advanced enough computer system to download into."
As Tylor Scans her he says, "Good idea, better not let you on the Enterprise then until we know for sure." he says and then closing the Tricorder he will place it on the Ground and then pull his hand phaser, adjusting it and then aiming at the Tricorder he vaporizes it. Destroying any possibility of a possible computer virus danger. He'll have the Shuttle's memory core wiped and reinstalled later. "Well I do know a few things about computer viruses, but I would need more advanced tech than what I have here to debug it. and getting it out of a biological format... that's... a whole other level of difficulty."
Cir-El nods, "You are telling me, I have had Telepath try to get at it, but all they can do is block it from effecting my actions...they can not remove it because it is not a normal telepathic effect. I need someone who is both a Telepath and a Cyberpath...able to interface with the computer aspects as well as the biological ones. People like that do not grow on trees, if you know what I mean."
As he thinks, "I know exactly what you mean." and then thinking as he will head over to start putting on the Housing for the engine pod. "I don't know if I can help. But I been out in space for the last 24 years or so. I might be able to help you, but I can't leave Earth yet. My situation is... delicate and needs to be sorted out. Simply up and vanishing wouldn't be smart. Especially if people in certain positions need to talk to me at the drop of a hat." he thinks. "Just don't give up hope."
Superlass shrugs, "It does not matter much, I mean, it is not like I have been tripping over computers advanced enough to make it a problem. Even the Sentinels I have encountered are not suitable."
As she says that, "Well in my case, I actually have a Starship, that can compute FTL jumps so for me it is a problem. I have installed safeguards but nothing is fool proof." Tylor explains. Superlass nods, "I work with an alien who has a starship, but I tend to avoid advanced alien computers, just in case."
"Enterprise here, What is it captain?" A female voice says.
"I need you to download a fresh copy of the Shuttle's mainframe. I may have come across something of Brainiac's and I didn't want to risk a virus transfer. Since the communicators are on a tight and closed system." Tylor explains.
"Understood sir, I'll begin uploading a fresh core copy in moments." and now he heads back inside to place the communicator in the computer upload to reinstall the software. Coming back to Superlass. "Nothing against you, I just want to be safe rather than sorry. I came along way to find Earth. I am not about to be directly responsible for it's harm."
Cir-El comments, "I would wait on that download until after I am gone. I have no idea how the download part works, better to be out of range." Her super hearing let her overhear his call to the ship, naturally enough.
"Alright it will take her a moment or two to start compiling it. It was nice to meet you, If I can I will help you." he says and allows her to depart.
She is reasonably certain this is not a dangerous invader, so she waves farewell and flies off...not quite controlling her speed correctly she trails a sonic boom...
